Summary

Investigators are examining whether Rep. Ilhan Omar's citizenship application falsely listed her age as 17 instead of 18, which could have affected her eligibility, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing officials. The goal is to revoke her citizenship and seek deportation, the Journal said. NewsNation reported more than 15 subpoenas have been issued, while the Daily Caller reported nearly a dozen. The DOJ seized Omar's phone and subpoenaed family members, NBC News reported, after ICE investigators searched her Washington home Monday. Homeland Security had reviewed a similar tip under the Biden administration but found insufficient evidence of fraud.
